It's all in the terminal, I guess. No GUI - just typing commands. My guess is that to get a video signal into my laptop, I would need some kind of video card that converts HDMI signal to USB, and then use a program, maybe like OBS Studio. I do video production, so this is how I would get a live...

For my work, we service Linux machines that run our proprietary software to control the HVAC. These boxes just run 24/7, and when we have to service them we have to bring a keyboard, monitor, in addition to our laptop. I would like to travel with less, and at least use my laptop as a monitor...

I have an older PC that I built, so I'll try swapping out the PSU, see if that helps...

Ok, slight update: I've basically just been avoiding restarting my computer, so far things have been pretty fine. I have had to restart my PC a few times for trouble shooting reasons. Before I do this, I shutdown and disconnect the Drobo, then restart. I get the same "Overcurrent" error on...

sorry about that. For some reason, I didn't think the PSU would be relevent, but now that I think of it, it very likely might be where this issue lies. PSU - SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850w 80+ All the parts are new from 2019. I'm not sure the best way to find my BIOS verion, but in System...

Ok, short version: When I restart my PC, I now get the message "Over Current Has Been Detected On Your USB Device!! System will shutdown after 15 seconds to protect your mainboard!!" and the PC won't boot. Unplugging all my USB devices used to help, but now I will get the message even when no...

Tried Disk Monitor as well..... yet again only partial information that doesn't seem to help. It's crazy real time data telling me that data is being written to "X" drive. Cool. But what program is doing it? Doesn't seem to say. So I can either get a program to tell me "here's all programs and...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I had already added "I/O Reads" and "I/O Writes" (also "I/O Read Bytes" and "I/O Write Bytes") in Process Explorer, hoping that this would help... but I don't see how it does. It tells me that "X" program is writing "Y" data..... but it does not tell me WHERE...

Sorry, it was Acronis. But this would be useful information to be able to identify in the future. The only reason I was able to identify Acronis is because I saw that it was running, and was almost done. So I just watched the drive usage as it ended the backup, and boom, usage dropped to 0%...

Process Explorer looks cool, but I still can't seem to find out what program is accessing which drive?

Sure, but is there a way to identify what exactly is accessing the disk so I could potentially stop it? UPDATE: I was able to identify the issue, but only because the program that was accessing the drive stopped and then the throttling was gone. I have Acronis True Image set to automatically...

Well, since you don't know what kind of RAID I have set up, I'm not sure you can accurately say this. In fact, the RAID I have is a Drobo so it's set to some kind of mirroring of the disks - not set to split data across disks for speed. Now, maybe you understand this in a way I don't, but my...

I am trying to transfer large amounts of data across hard drives - like terabytes of data, so it takes most of a day to transfer. I use TeraCopy for the transfer, so I can see exactly the rate at which the date is transferring. I sometimes see that the date rate has throttled down, so I just...

hmmm.... I don't have multiple sound cards, but my motherboard's built in sound has a few output options - optical and line out. So yeah, maybe I can toggle the feeds from inside Windows.

I have a great little desktop amp (Douk Audio P1 Tube Preamp) that I love. If functions both as a DAC, a bluetooth receiver, and RCA inputs all in a tube amp with Bass and Treble eq and headphone jack. It's great. JBL305p powered speakers. My issue is that my computer audio is going USB into...
